Justin Boudreau known by students as the "Dude Who
Changed My Life" is ready to take your event to the next level. Justin
brings his insightful "There YOU Are" vision and his expertise in HUM-ERGY (Humor
& Energy) to his mission of empowering students to be their best.
At the age of 22, Justin fulfilled his childhood dream by qualifying to
compete in a professional beach volleyball tournament. He proudly
states: “Even though we lost (big time), I know how it feels to make it
to the top, and now I want to coach students on how to reach their
dreams.”
This former high school teacher, coach of the year, world traveler,
author, and musician, exudes a realness that students don’t question. On
stage, his heart (not his ego) will inspire your students to worry less
about being cool and focus more on their future. Justin’s words will
resonate with the entire audience and motivate students to start
accepting themselves and understanding others.
Justin is the Founder & Executive Director of Gear UP for Excellence,
offering high quality, cost effective leadership retreats and summer
institutes for non-profit organizations and student associations across
the country. Justin is the co-author of the book for teens "Gearing Up:
Inside & Out for a Great Life".
On
February 14th, 2007,
Justin created and launched "Calling for Gratitude", a campaign that is
based on paying gratitude forward. Since its inception, thousands of
people from all over the world have called the toll free gratitude
hotline number 1800-501-5029 or posted a comment directly on the website
www.callingforgratitude.com.
Despite being an organic, word of mouth campaign, it has drawn attention
from newspapers and magazines in Canada and the US, even attracting the
attention of a Producer from “The Ellen Degeneres Show.”
Justin is committed to finding new ways to separate himself from other
speakers by simply giving more. After his keynote, Justin will share
his website
www.morethanaspeaker.com
which will provide your students with hours of audioclips that can be
downloaded directly to their ipods or computers.
www.Morethanaspeaker.com
is a resource that will provide your students with success interviews,
stories that Justin doesn’t have time to share from the stage, and
access to proven leadership activities that will give your students that
extra edge.
Justin is living his dream life with his wife Santana and
their 3 year old son, Kai. |
